We are now fully Odyssey’d up, verdict, not a good as 300 obvs’, lacking the emotional punch of Spartacus, bit long, but a pretty good epic… #TheOdyssey

Social media fuckin’ with democracy yet again, I wonder how many bots it took to get this trending. Disappointing @bsky.app, disappointing…
The remarkable Red Arrow, formerly the Flying Saucer, Lutterworth. In friendlier hands than on my last visit but sadly no longer has the Skittles Table. #PubSignThursday
